[Amsn-devel] Away messages

[Burger <bu...@mw...>]

Hey there,
	Ok so i'm in a small dilemna for automessages, dont know exactly what would be the best choice, so here are the 2 options i though of :

1. Have new states wich have there own auto messages, for example we would have a state, "away sleep" and when that state is selected you are away and have a certain message. These states would be in the normal states menu under Online, Away, BRB, and all those. Under all those states there would be another option like "other" this way the user can set some special message and state for this time only that wouldn't be saved in the list.

2. Have predefined auto messages for each state. how this would go is you make a list of auto messages with a title for each state, and then when you go on the menu to "away" and if you have automessages enabled, it would have a secondary popup menu next to away -> that would have a list of the away messages, same for BRB and all the others. In that secondary menu there wouldn also be an option "Enter other message" if he just wanted a special message for this time but no saved.

I have prefered these 2 systems instead of having a lousy popup box that comes out everytime you change status because that is just annoying.

So tell me what you think so i can start implementing one of these options.
